The University of Hong Kong Research
Announcing our fall 2017 seminar series
We have launched three series of seminars in the Fall 2017. They include a Sociological Forum for speakers from other academic institutions to present their works, a Departmental Colloquium for colleagues to share their ongoing research, and a RPG Seminar for RPG students to share their work-in-progress.
All the talks (unless otherwise noted) are held between 1:00 – 2:15 pm on Tuesdays in Room 929, 9/F, Jockey Club Tower, Centennial Campus. Sandwiches will be provided for participants. Please come to join these exciting events!
